Steem Fantasy Premier League - Gameweek 10 Overview

in #steem5 years ago


Gameweek 10 is overshadowed by the tragic helicopter crash that happened in Leicester on Saturday. Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, two members of his staff, a pilot and his partner all died in a helicopter crash close to King Power Stadium after Leicesters’ 1-1 draw with West Ham. Very, very sad news.

Hopefully no one followed my steem-pick this week. King (6.4m) didn’t play while Wilson (6.5m), who I first was going for, scored 13 points in Bournemouths’ 3-0 win against Fulham. I should just have followed my first feeling but an article I read somewhere showing Kings’ better offensive stats in recent matches got me change my mind. I transferred out Kane for King to get Salah (12.8m) in for Richarlison (6.8m) so it was a two sided transfer. Salah managed 15 points ( a double figure score for the first time this season) who saved my gameweek this time.

This was also a gameweek when many managers learned if their their benches were strong enough. With players like Robertson (6.4m), Hazard (11.3m), Arnautovic (7.0m), Holebas (4.8m) and so on losing out due to injuries or rotation many managers with me had to use a pair, or even all three of their bench players. For me even that wasn’t enough. With three starting players not playing and a bench with a non playing midfielder I just managed to field a team of 10 players. Not ideal!

What did we learn from gameweek 10?

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (10.8m) scored his fifth goal in three matches which took his total to seven strikes. This means he’s now Premier League’s joint-top goalscorer of 2018/19 with Hazard. After two substitute appearances in a row he was now in the starting lineup again. It’s though left to been seen if he can keep up his scoring form. Against Crystal palace he scored from his only shot and the previous four goals have came from four goal attempts.

The Monday evening match at Wembley was a again a match between two big teams that won’t stay in the memory for long. At first the visible after-effects of the NFL match from the previous day were noticeable on the pitch and made it awful to watch the game from that point of view. On the other hand it felt like a match that City just wanted to win, three points and nothing more. That being said, Spurs did have their chances to score even though City were the better team for almost whole the game. City have now got six straight clean sheets in the league and thereś for sure many more to come.

Brighton are also a very solid team defensively at the moment. Their 1-0 win over Wolves on Saturday meant a third clean sheet in as many Gameweeks. With upcoming fixtures against Everton (A), Cardiff (A), Leicester (H), Huddersfield (A,) Crystal Palace (H) and Burnley (A) their defensive players like Mat Ryan (4.5m), Shane Duffy (4.5m) and Lewis Dunk (4.4m) are all good options for FPL managers. For example Ryan has now scored 30 points in his last three gameweeks. Not bad at all.

The average score in gameweek 10 was 58 points while the highest score was an astonishing 145 points. Team “RealMadrid 11 : 1 Barcelona” (maybe not best team-name in these days) played bench boost a got returns from all but two players in the team. For example a Chelsea backline of Alonso, Luiz, Rudiger scored 23 points while the midfield with Fraser, Mane (C), Martial, Salah and Pereyra scored 76 points . The world number one team “InSané FC” had a gameweek score of 85 points and has now a total score of 772 points, an average of 77+ points/gameweek.

In Steem Fantasy League Team “Meitanteiteam” with manager Oleg Artemenko
continues as number one. A decent gameweek-score of 67 points was enough to keep the number one spot. The superior team in gameweek 10 was team “AcidSteem” managed by Acidyo himself. He broke the magic score of 100 with 14 points (114 points) and none came even near him. A team consisting of Begovic (6 points), Mendy (6p), Alonso (11p), Daniels (6p), Salah © (30p), Mane (15p), Milivojevic (15p) Kante (6p), Zaha (5p), Tosun (1p) and Wilson (13p) was the way to go this gameweek. Well done, Acidyo!

I have heard of this terrible and heartbreaking accident and my prayers go to the families and loved ones of the people who lost their lives.

It was a grim day in Premiere league history. A really sad one.
As far as FPL is concerned, I'm so pissed at myself. Sadio Mane was my initial captain, then I let club loyalty deceive me into switching to Lacazette.

That's heartbreaking news for me about Leicester. As for Aubameyang scoring 5 goals in 3 matches already, is goodnews. Now making him top joint goal scorer with Hazard.

After a long period of time i had a good gameweek. 95 points and going up to 12th place. As long as Hazard does not play, i will continue to climb :P
